It’s a New Year which means time to turn over a new leaf and leave your old habits behind. When the clock strikes midnight, it’s time to think about how this year you can be better than the year before. Here are some New Year’s Resolutions to get you started!
Get Goal-Oriented
We all do it, putting off big goals because sometimes it’s scary, whether it means trying to getting better grades, making the softball team or just learning to be on-time, use January as a jump start to completing all of last year’s dreams.
Organized and Awesome
Your room is a mess, right? Maybe this year, it can change. Buy containers to down and clutter and a calendar to make sure you never miss a thing and your homework’s in on time. Trust us, being organized will let you sleep better at night.
Money Matters
The holidays are expensive, once you’re done buying presents for friends and family (as well as a few for yourself) you’ll probably find that you have the empty-pocket blues. Don’t fret, January and February are a great time to reign in your spending and start saving for summer fun.
Health and Fitness
Another great part of the holidays? All the treats and big dinners. But a whole month of candy and eggnog can leave you feeling a little less than great. Getting healthy and fit in the winter can be hard, but your body will thank you (and you’ll feel better, believe us).
Foes to Friends
If you have any old grudges, consider this the time to settle it and work it out. New Year’s is a clean slate for everybody, so make sure you feel like you’re getting a fresh start by settling any arguments you have with friends, family and schoolmates. Remember, they want this year to be better just as much as you do.
Learn Something New
Have you always been interested in Martial Arts? Cooking? Art? Make 2012 the year that you act on it! Take a class, buy a book, or create a group with you and your friends so you can learn something new together. You can never have enough skills in life, and the New Year is the perfect time to start becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be!
